The Decline of the Personal Computer

Why has the PC community become such fucking trash, Holla Forums? I never thought I'd say it, but after nearly 15 years of playing FPS-s with a mouse + keyboard, I'm going back to consoles.

Primarily because that's where my friends are, but the fact that the community has turned to utter shit is the other big factor.
10 years ago, the PC community thrived; CS:S just came out, there were few to no faggots overtaking every single goddamn server and micspamming my little pony bullshit.
WoW had just had the Burning Crusade expansion and all was right in the MMO industry. People were happy, I was happy and the Youtube craze hadn't fully taken off just yet. It was a simpler time, a better time.

Then, PewDiePie and his fellow army of faggots took to the internet and invaded every single fucking game. Counter-Strike, TF2 and the like died a slow and painful death because of how repulsive every single one of these "master race" faggots had become.
Fucking hell, I had a machine which could run Crysis on all max at launch, I know how much better the PC can be than consoles when it comes to graphical power. However, I'm not talking about graphical power, I'm talking about community.

It's a fucking DRM system which single-handedly destroyed physical copies of games and became a breeding ground for some of the most cancerous fucking "indie" developers of all time. You don't own your games, you can't fucking trade in your games once you beat them and you automatically get assfucked by a regionlock by signing up, ON FUCKING PC.

And register them on Steam

Their sales are shit and often cost significantly more than their worth. Their bullshit return policy doesn't make it any better, either.
Oh, and don't forget how they've managed to fucking introduce the "early alpha" garbage that's given developers a reason to release a broken game and then leave it to die.

I think you mean Steam is shit and every fucking part of the client is broken. You can be banned for """"harassment""""" now, which constitutes as having an opinion which is """""offensive"""". Not to mention the groups are full of meme spouting piles of trash from reddit.

I don't give a single shit about FPS if every fucking game released is either broken or full of fucking bronies. The best part of consoles is the fact that you're forced to play with friends, whether near or far, or else play by yourself. The lack of customization is also a plus in this day and age, because it discourages furfaggots from pissing and shitting throughout every single match.
PC has its merits if you're willing to put up with it in the 21st century, but I'm fucking not. I don't have the autism or the patience to deal with this shit. I'm going back to consoles - fuck it.

Selling my desktop right now as we speak.

A lower barrier of entry means an overall decline in competence.

The community has gotten much worse, now games reflect that with the immense impact of cosmetics and itemfaggotry tied with real world money over gameplay.
That's like saying the USA is shit so you're going to Uganda, you're quite the retard.

Dude, Imagine being so butthurt about social rejects in animal suits you write fantasies about beating them up.
How pathetic

So don't use steam or enable voicechat in your multiplayer games lol you play online

You can? I'm sure you have sources

This post reads like a teenager trying to emulate how a 35+ year old would speak, but trying too hard and failing miserably, saged.

Then how are you going to use the internet?

wew

This has been the case in every aspect of human society.

There's your problem user. Find online games that aren't filled to burst with fucking normalfags.

Yiff in hell

...

< Gaming went mainstream
< Suits, Sales, Investors get involved
< Desperate need to create a reliable business model
< Overhyped, oversold mediocre trash get pushed
This happens everywhere. Its murdering the console market.

Fuck furries man

NO DON'T FUCK FURRIES

Shameful.

It's a left-leaning webcomic that praises civil rights. It's just funny to post out of context.

...

Shit and bait

literally console tier, 120 is the new goalpost

None of this would be happening if you lazy sacks of shit would finish your backlogs. Besides, as soon as Reddit gets a chance to have an identity or group to belong to, they destroy it.

You get the same retards on consoles. In fact, you get the even dumber retards since the only people who still play on consoles willingly support all the kikery, paid online, sub-20 FPS, amiibos and so on.


Then only play with your friends on PC? Oh wait, your friends are a pack of retards and playing their paid online boxes.


Yeah, that one is a problem. You know what you should do? Don't fucking support it. Pirate games that have it if you really want to play them for some reason. Also, you do realize that consoles have DRM too, right? Single player games like Bionic Commando 2 required you to be online back already back on PS3. It's only going to become more common since console fags are even more eager to get fucked than the average PC idiot.

You're probably baiting, but at least I won't have to meet your stupid ass online if you aren't. Then again I know the magic trick to avoiding meeting idiots while playing: don't play multiplayer games, or play them with friends instead of randoms.

Retro Console Gaming is the best gaming community because of this. A lot of pcfags are casuals that only stick to this set of genres and don't even bother playing anything else:
1) Games that are made popular by e-celebs (not really a genre but you know what I mean)
2) Mobas
3) Shooters
4) Strategy
5) WRPGS

...

say goodbye to your thumbs

Consoles are no better. You buy a physical game now? Its a disc with SOME content and a download code. Everything is digital now.

Might as well play PUBG then you faggot. A bad game is still a bad game even with friends

Which Pokemon have the best feets?

I don't think I have the heart to tell OP that online games on console are just as bad.

Nosepass

Why have you asked? It would be one less retard pissing and moaning about nothing on the Internet if he did.

But hey, who am I to judge plebs like you.

I saged the first time I tried to submit the post but wasn't posting, refreshed and it worked but didn't sage.

...

I'd agree. If he's quitting FPS games in particular now, he has a high tolerance for awful games.

It's because it because much cheaper and affordable for poor retards to be able to afford PCs

Why is this scum flooding here?
Is something happening over at that shithole?
I keep seeing these low effort (1) and done one sentence no subject shitposts popping up this week.
This weekend has been even worse

No one will miss you if you're so fucking dumb as to not pirate. And there is nothing wrong with furshit

Furshit thread?

You only got yourself to blame (1) and done.

How big is Krystal's cock?

Everytime

Inversely proportional to your self esteem

Oh yes I am furFAG

How can gay furfags exist when there is absolutely zero good porn of it?

...

idk

Never do these. Have fun by yourself. There are a fuckton of single player games out there, and if you're desperate for multiplayer play with some fags from here or something.
All the PCfags I know are casual as fuck, and think they're hot shit because they watch LinusTechTips and spout halfchan and reddit memes. I accidentally told my consolefag friends I have a PS4, and now I'm stuck playing Destiny 2 because they need a 6th person. Vidya is best enjoyed alone, or with people you'll never meet in person.
sage for (1) OP

I follow that whore on twitter. Damn she's annoying but she makes good tits.

Oh baby

You're the problem, cocksucker.

Stop complaining and just like, play games, dude

I barely know artist by their art all they are to me are names and styles I couldn't give a flying fuck about their lives unless it affects the flow of the porn

...

Have you tried playing with people from here? It's a fucking nightmare, a collection of the most obnoxious types of people.

user, I only follow her because she posts porn on her twitter.

You faggots spent years meming it as the "master race", and like with most memes, reddit got their hands on it. Now we have shit like the one redditor gutting an OG xbox dev kit for his """sweet""" PC Rig.

I spent a bit of time playing Sven Coop, but left Holla Forums for about a year and don't know what happened to their generals
The advantage is that they won't pester you in real life. No "Hey user let me show you this funny Jojo meeme I got from Facebook", or "Hey user we need another guy for this raid and it's either you or the guy who keeps cracking retarded jokes and laughing at them"

Are you the faggot that keeps getting your ass handes to him?

Why would you get your porn from Twitter? That's Ted Cruz tier, I shouldn't expect anything less from some stupid furfag.

lmao JUST kill yourself, my dude.
PC is shit because all of videogames are fucked and because PC got invaded by console-shit. Sound pretty new tbh.

Blatant shill faggotry.

And that kike mark is the absolute worst person to play a game with.

That doujin was a massive let down.

A lot of artists, mostly the jap ones, only post their stuff there instead of pixiv.

That's a goat I wanna fuck.

this. 8/v/ is manchild central. Not only manchild mentality, but they are the worst board for what I call "Holla Forums epic oldfag" syndrome. Basically they're all newfags who missed out on the glory days, so they call gamergate their glory day and act like everyone else is a newfag to help sooth their asspain.

Stop playing casual garbage.

I guess that's true, but I just like getting it directly from the artist.

I want one where he has more human males with the girls. Also I meant the goat lady.

Was peobably licking the fox user. I didn't see any vagina so I dunno.

thanks for proving my point
I behold your epicness, sage of the internet, only you know what imageboard truly are like lol fucking desperate losers.

PC's have been trash from the beginning.
Support an acutal good Computing platform.

gas yourself
and sage negated tbh

You gonna post troll face next?

sage negated

No. I ain't got your kind of shit.

pick one and only one.

More shota

Is anyone here not a colossal faggot?

The only cucks who get banned from video games tend to be insufferable retards who've somehow managed to piss everyone off.

>The Guts! series will never get translated

I think how cancerous the PC community can work, because if the people you're playing with/against are faggots you can have your fun overcoming this extra challenge, while also making the avatar of faggotry mad, but if the people you're playing with/against are decent dudes then you'll probably end up making friends, no matter how short lived, and you'll be enjoying yourself more.
I think someone a lot of online players forget, with them being caught up in the ranking systems and the matchmaking, meta, streamer culture and whatnot is that first and foremost your goal is to be having fun, not advancing in ranks or constantly winning. This is why no matter how good I think a game like Dota 2 or Smite could(keyword could) be, I'll never play them again because 95% of the community is pretty much anti fun, and after a while it rubs off on you and you yourself stop having fun and the other category of players is so rare it might as well not exist.

As for steam's great community and sales, I'm pretty sure these are just stupid memes. I honestly don't get the appeal of steam because usually the steam exclusive games are either AAA trash that I don't want to play or "indie" trash that I don't want to play either. Usually said trash is the broken or filled with brony shit you've just mentioned.
I will say I fucking hate this full on kindergarten mode online has become now. Banter no matter how offensive and regardless of internet always spices up a game and for it to be limited to these flaccid insults like "u salty/mad" is pretty lame in itself and the fact that you have to watch yourself just so some thin skinned faggot doesn't go apeshit over you calling someone a nigger or being called a sandnigger gets offended on someone else's behalf and it ends up in someone getting banned or blacklisted.

regardless of intent

open dota 2/anything right now, go to options, select "mute all" everywhere you can, find a game, select "disable help" and "mute" everywhere you can, put on some classical music and you will understand the relaxing way mobas were meant to be played

I commend you OP

see ya fag

implying that most console games aren't digital now

call of duty and gaylo arent cancer enough for you?

you're posting on Holla Forums, you have no friends

your eyes cant see more than cinematic 24fps?


dont come back

WoW was never good

PC master race faggots ruined some things.

they ruined everything, but at least they're a great source of humor in this day and age.

lol nice pc gamer pic man

Did you mean to post this somewhere else? Nobody here does any of that shit you complain about, so did you just feel like preaching to the choir?

wow was really good for the first 8 years. best mmo and video came from 2001 to 2009. Nothing else was worth playing.

As Wow got ruined by expansions/patches so did the incentive to play video games. Real gamers simply stopped playing vidya once Wow became corrupt.

No exceptions. Dark Souls was okay though.

Well for one thing consoles by and large don't have to contend with the ever creeping plague that is indie developers destroying quality standards. Secondly the console market still has the Japanese competition to concern themselves with, and if Japan can make quality games, and the West can't, the console market will once again become completely dominated by Japanese games, so there is still some pressure on them compared to PC gaming.

I think another big thing is that PC gaming is in a really bad place from a developmental standard because what the PC excels at providing for gamers that consoles don't, are games that provide significant entertainment over a long period of time, or really push the hardware to its limits to provide a truly unique experience. The issue is that you have to have a design team capable of creating this game, and the corporate backing to provide it the funds necessary for a really good game with todays technology. But since virtually every company wants any title they put big money into to be a multi platform title, we haven't had a game that is the equivalent of HoMM 3, Starcraft, Half Life 2, Quake, or so on for years. Games that you could play for years and still have fun with. Because no one tries to design or create games like that anymore due to marketing concerns.

So all the best games now are on consoles, since they are still more or less the same now as they were years ago. Games you could pick up, have a great time with, and then move on after beating a couple times. So we'll still get really good console games from time to time, since there are still talented people with a solid financial backing behind them who all have the same vision as to what the end product should be. That's why we can still end up with good games like Nier Automata on the console, but we pretty much never get a good PC game any more.

this has never really been a thing on PC apart from a few exceptions like crysis. A lot of the PC's existence has been spending time catching up to what consoles did faster due to the different ways hardware is designed for consoles.

...

you retarded nigger. the policy works perfectly fine. i haven't a single refund request denied out of 15-20 so far.

Go to a free public pool, and then go to one with a $2 fee. Tell me which one has more niggers. Now, extend this to a pool that costs $2000 vs a pool that costs $350.

PC STANDS FOR CONSOLE PORT

Realize this, and you understand the mustard race.

some games like in counter strike pretty much require you to turn on the microphone when carrying the bomb. If you dont give a response they kick you. This is why i like games with limited or no votekick systems.

You are fucking retarded my man.

Protip: if you want cheap shit, just pirate them all, that's the strength of PC.

Tell me when I can play RTS games on consoles lol

I like online multiplayer but I hate social interactions like voice chat or text chat, I just want to kill other players while minding my own business geez. I blame nornalfags for this shit.

Play deathmatch bruv.

I almost never hear people talking. What games are you playing where people talk?

PUBG

First of all I hate furries.
Second of all, its really the games. They've become cheap tricks trying to sell anything, it's what killed TF2.

More will join in, it didn't have to be like this but (((Journalists))) had to make it this way for their own political means to achieve White Genocide.

Don't

There's literally nothing wrong with any of that.

See you in 2 months in "Decline of the Console" thread.

Oh, look at that. You now have the exact same thing you have on console, but with better controls, framerates and the ability to disable motion blur!

this is some of the most elaborate b8 i've seen in a while ,i commend you OP but you still suck dick

...

Also

Why should you? Do you identify with a 90yo gay librarian?

I just stopped playing multiplayer games, I really dont give a shit about playing online with people now since 90% of them are obnoxious retards that spout "dank, memes, lul" and other shit that makes them think that they're cool and hip. Then there's the cuckchan Holla Forums posters that think they're being sly as fuck by spouting "rare pepes" trump memes and spamming chat that makes then more unbearable than playing with a fucking BR, fucking secondhand embarrassment is fucking real, sometimes I believe they are the types to immediately apologize after getting banned and then go to whatever Holla Forums and vent about how cucked the devs of a certain game are.

I do not need social interaction in this day and age, which is why I just pirate my shit and play single player games in my own time while relaxing to some music.

No one has mentioned that since they added hard drives and internet access to consoles, they are basically PCs now.

The only difference between PC and console gaming today is that
1) Consoles have shittier specs
2) Consoles have none of the hardware compatibility issues

No because I got a brain lol

RTS is the deepest genre.

...

What hes saying is true though the community is more XD DANK MEMES LEL oriented. And theres hardly any good single player games being released on PC since Japan likes making ps4 exclusives.

You can find the same DANK MEMES community on consoles, and nowadays japs port their games to PC, and PC got the most RPG and strategy games.

You imply nips make good games.

Disgusting.

Mlp faggots were literally cia infiltrators, they finished off Holla Forums.

The faggots vols do nothing as well
This isn't even a decent platform pros and cons thread.
Its a blatant cuckchan crosspost, likely a shitty pasta as well thats downright console wars.

(1) and done and everything, the people who are bumping and actually replying to this shit plus the consoleniggers defending it is whats depressing me the most.

This board used to be something special.
And now its becoming rotten to the core thanks due to many good posters leaving after the Josh and Jim debacles coupled with the technical problems and now more and more cuckchan faggots flooding in and not adapting to the culture since they'll just go back to Hiroshimas embrace and their shithole as soon as their ban is lifted.

Why would you need human interaction or complain about it?
Boo Fucking Hoo I can't enjoy because of
Fuck you

Once a faggot, always a faggot.
What else is new

That's just playing it like a singleplayer game and I would much rather play Aarklash Legacy instead.
The whole appeal to a multiplayer game(at least to me) is the interaction with other players.
Just not the type I mentioned.

Why are you replying to this faggot when Warhammer Total War 2, Divinity OS 2 and FightNRage just came out?

I'm just bored as shit m8.

Just finish playing a session of CnC Generals Zero hour, this is my down time.

I'm angry cuz I hit a wall on my PoE Build. Good damage on but I die in 1 hit
Or rather in 0.60 seconds after my On Hit buff disappears.
This is what I get for not keeping some resistance gear on hand.

Ever played RotR mod?
How is it?
I need to go get back to Generals
One of my all time favs, but haven't played it since around 2010.

Stealing tech with Jarmen Kell or the hijacking units while raping common tanks with mobs was the shit.

Theres a fix for that its called Grim Dawn

there are no interesting threads so in the downtime I shitpost in these ones. Also I'm playing DOS2.

Then make an interesting thread user.

...

What am I, a peasant?

I know this is bait but if it isn't, please do fuck off to consoles.

consoles don't have drm, you should look up what drm is.

no, thats fighters and STGs, rts is about as deep as windows.

Jesus, you're retarded.

Jesus Christ you whine like a castrated faggot!

YOU WON'T BE MISSED!!!!

Your beef is with Steam, don't use it, it's very very easy to not use it.

I am 35 and anyone saying they're 'going back to consoles' or pays the slightest heed to that norwegian faggot is a 14 year old and always will be.

Fuckoff back to >>>/NeoGaf/

eww, fucking shit taste..

OP is a bitch, confirmed.
fuck all this furshit

...

Meanwhile, Valve gets every relevant profit in PC Gaming, their monopoly gets bigger and they keep trying to stop piracy.

buy somewhere else
buy old physical copies
buy anything but steam

I came for furshit
Why'd it all get deleted


Fuck off Mark.

wanna yiff?

Everyone says this. Nobody does it. The last time we had an indie dev here, he said something along the lines of "Realistically, if you want to make money on PC, you have to release on Steam."

You think it's better on consoles? Hah!

...

...

9/10 times a shitty console port is still the best version of the game. People don't complain about shitty ports because they are getting an inferior product, but because their standards are higher.
Realize this and you're still a retard.

You can kindly screw off, dogfucker.

Same ways memes died, normalfags saw it, thought it was 'cool' to be annoying and screech PC master race and git gud at every turn.
They flooded, made it shit.

Only reason I use Steam is because It's the only way I can purchase games, but since the rise of GOG I've been getting them from there, It's too bad there are no game stores around and even then I doubt they'd have what I want.

I won't comment on the tits but i'm pretty sure that's her skin, not eyelashes. Or a tattoo.

This should be a quote starting a JRPG whose MC main concept is purging trash out of society

Careful, someone illiterate might get assblasted once you apply that to education, especially higher one

Most vidya stores are gone or dying in my area The ones that sold mostly PC titles bit the dust earlier. The few that are still around either have MtG cards, those shitty funko figures, and cellphone accesories to supplement their wares.

FOR WHAT FUCKING PURPOSE?

Fuck off with your "No true Scotsman" argument. You don't speak for any "real gamer" but your pleb self. WoW was always a shitty knockoff of shitty Everquest, and anybody who doesn't realize that is simply too young to remember.

I'd love to report you for being underage, but sadly we've reached the point where WoWkiddies are now grown adults

Rollercoaster MMOs and their Clan and Guild focus were always cancer.

KEK

lol nice burn

I bought a Switch in hopes of getting away from Steam. So far its working.

The tipping point for me was when they opened the flood gates but didn't curate anything. Their "we automate everything" approach doesn't work. I never liked Steam, I just tolerated them since there is no other option for PC.

After almost 20 years of PC gaming its not worth it anymore.
